Scott Twine - Signed on Four Year Deal - Official

[Merrick's Marvels]

1 hour ago, INCRED said:

Not sure where people get £5m as our summer transfer budget?

Getting 4 x forward/attacking players will be £10m minimum and I don’t think that’s an unrealistic figure especially if we are seeking better value on the continent 

There's no way we're spending 10 million quid this summer without selling. In my opinion.

On all the evidence currently in the public domain, I don't see how anyone can think that's likely.

Doesn't mean we won't of course - there's lots of stuff not in the public domain and for good reason. But based on what we've been told so far, a 10 million spend this summer without selling anyone seems unlikely- to me.

If we do, I'll be very happy and very surprised.

At the end of the season we were told we wanted a 7,9&10. No talk of wanting to sell Conway at that stage. So that was the summer budget - 3 players. And yeah  if anyone left, they'd need replacing.

Today, we're told the no.7 is done and 2 other strikers have agreed to join.

So I reckon that's the budget spent.

What's changed - and what might eventually mean we spend "10M" or whatever - is the fact Conway has decided to leave.

That's changed things. Now the money we think we can get for him will pay for Twine.

In other words, we're seeing "what football earns, football can spend" in action.

The curveball today has been the news we're after 2 more - 1 of which is Twine presumably? Maybe the other is a bit of forward planning  seeing as Wells has only 1 year left?

But the only way we're spending "10M" and getting 5 players in not 3, is because players (Conway?) are leaving. Which wasn't our preferred Plan A for this summer (even though we knew it was likely).

I'll be delighted if we buy so many attacking players as that is so obviously where we're not up to scratch. Finding the right strikers and creative types might just be transformative, as there's otherwise not much wrong with our defenders and midfielders.

An interesting couple of weeks ahead

Agree with all of this & would just add I think we are after 4 players because Conway & Cornick will both leave.

Even in this scenario I still don’t reckon we’ll spend as much as £10m, especially if we can get Twine for another year on loan.

Loan fee probably £1m, plus all his wages, other 3 signings a maximum of £6m.

Yes, I keep forgetting the possibility of a season long loan for Twine.

That would make sense, and seem increasingly likely, given the number of signings we seemingly have "in the bag" already plus what has been publicly stated about our budget constraints.

They might just be bluffing, of course, but that's not the owner's style.

Tinnion implied we wouldn't spend big when he said we had to be smarter than other clubs in recruitment. I'm with him on that as I don't want us going back to the overspending days.

Whether any fee for Tommy will make a significant difference depends on whether Steve wants to use some or all of it to reduce the amount he puts in.

[Mr Popodopolous]

Smarter is fine up to a point but It can go too far both ways.

How about smarter for the bulk then try for one or two high end loans a season to round off.

Mayulu at £3m is relatively smart tbh, may need some adaption but think he'll either come good for us in 12-18 months or he hits the ground running and we profit off him.

I get that but we should stand firm more readily.

Jordan James- Birmingham, remained.

Whittaker- Plymouth, remained.

Clarke and Bellingham- Sunderland, remains to be seen. £25-30m and £20m. May price them out.

Otoh Wharton, Scott, Rogers.

Once we have become financially in a better place it's up to SL but we really have to try and keep and build.

Still plenty of time in the window, as for January just gone, its not a window people often want to make moves like that in as 6 months as it can be an entirely different landscape, so rejecting offers in January is very different to rejecting offers in a summer and I'm not advocating that we would sell in a January window.

It is a difficult one. I'm not saying never sell, Dai Yongge at Reading did this and it backfired, Chansiri to an extent.

I do think those price tags will price the Sunderland pair out of a move in the summer..and in a sense if you are a compliant club and the player has a decent contract length you hold the cards.

Plymouth and Whittaker harder to say and Birmingham did get relegated of course.

Been watching a bit of WS tonight…gotta use those minutes!!

Was quite impressed how he rolls inside off of his man, and quickly into his stride.  I thought the goals clips I put up me gave the impression of good feet but a bit awkward in his movement.  So this feels a bit of a bonus.  I like his movement in the box, rarely still, looking to go near to far or vice-versa.

Of course equating Austrian Bundesliga to Championship isn’t easy.

And worth recognising that at 21 he’s not only not the finished article, but first season at this level, and pretty much he either starts and subbed off, or subbed on…28 league apps / 15 90s / 47 mins per match, so still developing (a positive too).

And, IMO, that would be a good thing. He showed nowhere near enough to suggest he should be a key signing when he was here in his loan spell and signing him - while backing the manager - would be the epitome of a bloody stupid deal. We’ve seen him. We know he’s not great. We know he doesn’t want to do it with back to the wall (see Huddersfield). 1 excellent game out of 8, and that against a relegated side? Absolutely no way we should touch him at the mooted fee.

And if Scott Parker rates him, that just confirms that opinion. The man struggles with knitwear, let alone midfielders.

I don’t disagree with you that the outcome will be that we’ll sign Twine (likely for a massively inflated fee), but it’s in no way a sensible move

Genuinely rather we move on. He’s never performed at this level, he was superb in League 1 but there is a gap in general unless you are an Ipswich and Birmingham with money. I am sure there are some good better value options in the market we are shopping in.

Massive gamble if it is who I’ve heard.

If we have learned anything this month those on here claiming SL would back Manning heavily are dreaming.

£2.5m at the very most for Mayulu, a nominal fee to borrow the Japanese player, £2m for the Croatian & haggling to get Twine on loan.

Not willing to pay the asking price for him or the Auxerre player.

Barely £6m all in & if Conway leaves that is more than half of that back & very little likelihood of any more expenditure.

Not sure about this. I’d argue 4.5 mil on two players for a champ team is fairly good backing. One loan with option to buy is good business as it may not work out. Not paying asking price for Twine is sensible as he’s not worth anywhere near what Burnley are asking. The Auxerre player probably got a better/more attractive offer.

I'm not in any way positive about SL/BT or the way we're being run, but you probably can include Bird (We must have paid more than the compo would have been to secure him), Stokes, the most promising player in NL and Murphy (Not a huge fee, but based on those couple of 21's apps, a very good prospect) in the list, plus the renewal of Joe Williams saves us from having to make another splash at CM. 

 

I don't want us to throw cash at it tbh. Other than a back up GK I can't see any holes in the squad if the signings you list all happen.

Who are the suggested alternatives as I can think of any as capable? One reason I would be very disappointed in not signing twine was for his set pieces. For so long we have been crying out for someone with the ability to put in a good corner and be able to score from direct free kicks. He offers that and I don't think anyone else in our squad has that capability.

I was told a name a couple of weeks ago and promised to keep it to myself. Which I have done. 
But I’ve since heard the same name mentioned by a number of other people so I don’t mind giving a little bit of info as I know it’s not going to have come directly from my source or me. 
 

I won’t say the name, but I’m told that the ‘number 10’ we may be considering rather than Twine is a “gamble” as Graham put it’d because he has zero experience in England, let alone the Championship. 
He’s 22, Brazilian and has a total of 18 appearances in the Brazilian Serie A. 
 

So whilst it would certainly be a somewhat exciting signing, as Graham says, it’s likely a big gamble too.

Id said I’d check his assists, based on video clips, 15 assists from MKD onwards:

8 what I’d describe as through balls

3 corners / crosses

1 freekick

3 simple passes

(3 seasons / 2 and a bit of playing time due to injury).  I was surprised the through balls was as high and the set-pieces so low…you live and learn.

[BLRed]

He does have undeniable quality from a corner delivery and clearly has the ability to take and score direct from free-kicks, something we can't associate with anyone else in our squad. Provides a different dimension to set-pieces rather than the age old short corner failed routine or the inability to beat the first man from numerous other takers.

Am I allowed to say that 5 assists a season (or factoring up to say 6-7 to account for the injury time) is pretty underwhelming for a “playmaker” - noting that the real metric should be “big chances created” which should account for the strikers not finishing off opportunities, and there is always the fabled “assist to the assist”

Lots of dubious end product so definitely like for like with Twine!

He's 22, born May 22, 2002 and he'd be signing no.2 of the Summer ..... It's written in the stars, surely!  ..... Welcome '2' Ashton Gate, Matheus!

Sounds like a Deep State signing to me.

I’ll help out a bit here. 
I was told a name a couple of weeks ago and promised to keep it to myself. Which I have done. 
But I’ve since heard the same name mentioned by a number of other people so I don’t mind giving a little bit of info as I know it’s not going to have come directly from my source or me. 
 

I won’t say the name, but I’m told that the ‘number 10’ we may be considering rather than Twine is a “gamble” as Graham put it’d because he has zero experience in England, let alone the Championship. 
He’s 22, Brazilian and has a total of 18 appearances in the Brazilian Serie A. 
 

So whilst it would certainly be a somewhat exciting signing, as Graham says, it’s likely a big gamble too. 

Cant be him then mate.  
 

Only played 18 games…. We all know we do such a vigorous scouting job that we watch a player at least 40-50 times live before signing.

Could’ve done the other 32 on Champ Manager?

Problem is, despite Tinnion repeatedly telling us “players have agreed to sign”, so far we have one & no certainty whatsoever about any others.

I think Tinnion said good news on two and paperwork being done but if they are from various parts of the world , Japan etc that paperwork may take a while eg clearances etc they are moving them forward
